I love film photography and I love quirky, and we recently discovered an exhibition that combines both! Patrick Pound: The Great Exhibition is the first comprehensive exhibition of the New Zealand-born, Melbourne-based artist and it is currently being held at NGV Australia. Pound is an avid collector…something I can relate to as nowadays I am […]
I have plenty of 35mm film cameras, and few medium format ones, in my slowly growing collection, but there was another format I wanted to try…110 film.
